TheIHW was an experiment when it wa«enacted, and eould not have been ex[eeted to operate perfectly withoutsubsequent adjustment. The rxj»*rlonee of the past two years ought toenable the Assembly to so modifythe law as to mr.ka it just to th«railroads, to the State and to thevarious sect ion* of the State.Thore Is almost an unaniinotj* demand for change from all parts ofthe State.

There seemsto be a necessity for making an appropriation of tnou,000 for the purpose of carrying forward work uponthe Uc-w capitol. We shall thenhave but $."00,000 to ftp(ly to thewants of all the other institutions.This sum was entirely inadequate.The co^t of architects, commissioners, employes, etc., while this u ork i*going on, ap|H'ftrs to be about 1100,000per annum. If this work hurriedforward there will bea saving of thisannual expense. It is also important that the archives of this State,u hich have now grown to be of immense value, should tie placed beyond all risk of destruction. Theregular appropriation will allow theoftlcers in chaige to collect a largoamount of material but it will* notprovide for the building up of theedifice to any satisfactory extent.The Hppropriation asked for the prosecution of the work on the capitolseemed to be necessary, and therela-jug a'necessity for nil increase ofavailable funds, he preferred that thesums to be raised should bo done bylevy rather than by an Issue ofbonds.1The above eztraet, whleft we findIn the Davenport C7uz'fir's correspondence, doubtless fairly present* aview of the quest Ion ns held by alarge number of member*. Other*,of which judge Thayer, on the lk-inocratie aide, may t* regarded a* thelender, favor an l**ue of bonds sufficient to procure money to completethe capital t'uildiug a* aoon as menand money can do it.lu our view the quickest plan forcompleteing the building will be themost economical, provided the statebond*, if Issued could be negotiatedat or very nearly at par, on six percent, interest, as fn*t as the meanswould t»e needed, without commission fr ladling.The building mn*t b# driven toearly completion, er the state intistsuffer loss. The present building Is iiusaft* and inadequate to thepressing needaof the State. llesides,the work on the new building is in*tich condition as to render delayvery expenslvo, A bonded debt off2,UUU,Uoo upon the State Is not acomfortable thing to contemplate,but as the next and succeeding generations ar« to have the use of thebuilding, the payment for It* construction ought to be distributed toat least two decadea.

TheRepublican National Committee hasmade feasible, by the terms cf thecall, the co-operation of those whoseparated from the mass of ItepublicansThe call is address*to Republicans and "all other voters,without regard to past political difference* or previous party difficulties," who now agree in desiring certain objects. So tar as the terms ofthe invitation are concerned, therefore, there can be no difficulty orcavil up'n the part of any one whohas ever acted with the licpublicunparty. Hut the cooperation of thosewho seceded in 1S72 cannot, of course,be secured by the terms of a call orthe declarations of a platform. Theyhave learned the value ol that kindof promise, for their allies of '72,who adopted their pisiform andtheir demand of thorough politicalreforms have shown thei/ utter contempt for it by their conduct in thoHouse and in the States. The actionof the Republican seceder» of H72will depend, lie re forte, very muchupon the candidates who mny beselected. For them, in a |eiuHar»ense, the candidate of either partywill be the platform. That the support ol an element ill the Republican party formerly represented hyMr. Sumner and Mr. Ncliur/. is desirable in the election of this year, fewRepublican* will deny. Nothing isto be ruined for any xni cause byiusistint that because they did H*tvote with the rest of us In 1*72,they shall not vote with us in 1M7(!.AU Republican* were unquestionably glad when Mr. Schurr. went histyear to speak in hio. and they wouldnot ts sorry to nee original SumnerRepublican* heartily working withthem this year:Jt is undeniable that many sincereand regular iCeftuhll 1IIIS are morein unison with these neeeders thanthey were In 1H7J. They do not, ofcourse, s^ree that th»» method andpolicy, the Democratic alliance, ofthat year wa* wow\ or that the noinillation was judicious or even »afnor would they deny that th» lapse offour year* lias made some things advisable tiiat wero I ben imperative.The course of the Republican par'yIII 1H72 was, in the existing situation, ft patriotic and wi*e rourso.But that is a point upon which therewill hu a difference of opinion Th"question lit lure the senders of thyear and other Republicans now inwhat sbull be done today? ii 11*pal les will make the a tine generalprufisaslnii.

Tin ywould not vote for a Republican orDemocratic inflationist. '1 hey wouldnot vote for a iioii-couimital Democrat liko Mr. Hendricks, whose platform is the fence. They would notvole for any Republican candidatewho would, in their Judgment,confirm what they think the w rottendency of the present Administration. Vet they would unqucMlonably prefer to support the Republicanrather than Urn Democratic cause.Seeing that one of the two mustprevail, and sincerely wi.-hing a a!sectional conciliation and reunion,they are quite wise enough to knowthat it Is not an indifferent uuestionwhether the government shall bocontrolled by the late ConfederatesHtid slave-holders or by the defender* of the Union and the emancipators of the slaves.
